액체 표면을 전극으로 하는 플라즈마 방전은 생물학적 살균, 분해 처리 등에 필요한 UV 및 화학적 활성종의 생성에 유리하여 널리 활용되고 있다. 하지만 그 특성 등에 관한 연구는 액체막의 유동 및 기하학적 구조 상 진단의 제한으로 인하여 아직 미비한 상태이다. 전해질 내 방전은 전극 표면의 기포 막 에 인가되고 그 두께에 따라 변한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 액상 전해질의 인가 전압 및 점성도를 독립적으로 조절하여 기포 막 크기와 인가 전력간의 관계와 이에 따른 전해질 내 플라즈마의 특성이 음극 글로우 방전임을 밝혔다. 실험에서는 전기 전도도 1.6-3.2 S/m의 NaCl 수용액 전해질에 양극성 전극을 삽입하고 350 kHz의 전압을 인가하여 플라즈마를 발생하였다. 인가된 전압은 230 - 280 V이며 전해질의 점성도는 젤라틴을 첨가하여 1E-4-1.1 kg/m${\times}$sec로 조절하였다. 기포 막의 두께 및 변화는 고속카메라를 통하여 관측하였으며 인가되는 전압 및 전류는 고전압 프로브와 전류 프로브를 통하여 관찰하였다. 기포 막은 전극표면에서 막 비등을 통하여 발생됨을 밝혔다. 인가 전력과 손실 열에너지간의 비율에 따라 기포막은 수축과 확장의 진동을 반복하였으며 전기 유체적 모델을 통하여 기포 막의 동적 거동에 따른 플라즈마에 인가된 전력의 변화를 정량적으로 분석할 수 있었다. 기포 막의 평균적인 두께는 인가 전압과 비례하여 약 $150\;{\mu}m$에서 $200\;{\mu}m$로 증가하였으며 진폭은 점성의 증가 시 약 $50\;{\mu}m$에서 $20\;{\mu}m$로 감소하였다. 순간적인 플라즈마 인가 전력은 평균적인 두께에 따른 평균적인 두께에 대해서는 15 - 20 W의 변화를 보였으나 진폭의 감소 시 17 - 70 W의 보다 큰 폭으로 증가하였다. 이를 통하여 점성도가 큰 조건에서 기포 막의 확장이 억제되어 방전이 유지됨을 알 수 있었다.

Hydraulic valve control the pressure and the How of fluid by the hydraulic oil transfered from pump but the ER fluid consists of solid particles of micrometer in size and insulating oil so in the general hydraulic valve. We invented ER-Valve using ER fluid as working fluid. The ER fluid, working fluid of ER-Valve is a functional fluid to represent the feature of fluid according to strength of electric field. In this research we made our own 4 types of plate type ER-Valve which has same surface but different width and length and then we conducted performance test. We measured flow rate and pressure drop of fluid which is flowing in the ER-Valve according to the electric field strength to conduct this test. We modeling ER-Valve relating to ER-Valve system and yield shear stress according to the strength of electric field. We used the pressure drop according to the strength of electric field by differential pressure gauge in the our own made ER-Valve. This test reviewed experimental the special changes of ER-Fluid in the steady flow condition.

The development of a robot system being able to work instead of human in the hazardous environment have been conducted for many year. In this study, the new design of controllers for the Master-Slave system is discussed. The Master-Slave system, force, velocity and torque signals are communicated between a master and a slave system. the conventional requires the enhancement of characteristics of tactility for minute force, precision signals and mechanical abrasion of loader. It is possible b controlling the viscosity of ERF(Electro-rheological fluid) since it varies with the electric field. Design of controller as well comparison between numerical simulation and experiments as will be presented. Futhermore, current methodology is also applicable to design of tele-surgery

Electro-theological fluid is recently used for the micro polishing of 3-dimensional micro-aspherical lens. It's also used for polishing small area defects on the wide flat wafer. Since ER fluid shows a behavior of viscosity changing under certain electric fields. micro polishing efficiency may be enhanced for certain cases. In this paper, a perfluorinated carbonyl fluoride oil based ER fluids was used to improve surface polishing rate and submicron-scale accuracy. As the polishing electrodes, micro size cylindrical tools had been used for maximizing the electric field. An experimental device, which was applied for micro polishing a number of wafers of 4inches in size and other workpiece. was made on a precision polishing system. It consisted of a steel electrode. a wafer fixture. l0㎃ current and DC 5㎸ power supply unit, and a controller unit. From the Experiments. the ER fluid is applicable for micro polishing of small parts.

In this research 4 plate type ER-Valves which have same surface but different width and length are designed and an experimental apparatus is constructed. With this experimental apparatus, flow rate and pressure drop of ER fluid flowing in ER-valves are measured with varying electric field strength of ER-valve, and relation between valve types and pressure drop is also experimented. ER fluid is made silicon oil mixed with 40wt% starch having hydrous particles. If we allow the same electric field in the ER-Valve, we came to how that the pressure drop is effected by the electrode length and electrode width. When the strength of the electric field increased, the pressure drop happened big and the flow rate decreased.

In this work, an ER clutch has been constructed and its characteristics have been evaluated by adapting an electro-rheological fluid(ERF) as an operating medium. ER fluids are suspensions which show an abrupt increase in rheological properties under electric fields. An ER clutch system using ER fluid is a new conception device because an apparent viscosity of ER fluid can be changed by apply an electric field. As a first, Bingham properties of ER fluids are experimentally distilled as a function of electric field. We use the disk type ER clutch in which the ER fluid fills the annular space between a pair of coaxial disk electrodes and experiment results show that the measured revolution per minute was increased with the increase of the electric field. The ER fluid used in the present study consists of weight fraction 35% in zeolite suspended silicone oil.

Electro-Rheological(ER) fluids change their apparent viscosity according to the electric field strength. The electrical and rheological properties of zeolite based the ER fluids were reported. The electric field dependent yield stress are obtained from experimental investigation on the Bingham property of the ER fluid. Using ER fluids, it is possible to directly interface between electric drop and flow rate of the ER fluid was hydraulic control valve measured under application of an electric field. The purpose of the present study is pressure drop measurement of an ER valve by using strain gage. The performance characteristics of the valve system are evalusted in terms of pressrue fixed with respect to the intensity of employed electric fields and flow rates. As a result, it is esperimentally confirmed that pressure control valve using ER fluids applicable to use in hydraulic power systems.

In this paper, we have numerically investigated two-dimensional dielectrophoretic (DEP) motions of a single particle suspended freely in a viscous fluid, interacting with a nearby nonconducting planar wall, under an externally applied uniform direct-current electric field. Particularly, we solve the Maxwell equation with a large sharp jump in the electric conductivity at the particle-fluid interface and then integrate the Maxwell stress tensor to compute the DEP force on the particle. Results show that, under an electric field parallel to the wall, one particle is always repelled to move far away from the wall and the motion depends strongly on the particle-wall spacing and the particle conductivity. The motion strength vanishes when the particle is as conductive as the fluid and increases as the conductivity deviates further from that of the fluid.

In this study, ER fluids were working fluid and yield shear stress of attained dispersive ER fluids made by analyzed to adapt effectively at the practical equipment like three port ER valve. In addition, movement of ER particle was observed by using a microscope the same as the strength of electric field with Bingham characteristic. Basis material was presented to develop 3 port ER-Valve by quantitatively comparing and analyzing entrance, load and outlet flow's differences of 3 port rectangular tubes. This study, after designing and producing the 3port ER-Valve, considered the characteristic of pressure drop, outlet and load flow rate by changing the strength of electric field on ER fluids flowing between electrodes.
